Community Charter School of Paterson

The Community Charter School of Paterson (CCSP), located in the Great Falls Historic District in Paterson, New Jersey, is the first charter school pioneered by New Jersey Community Development Corporation.

Serving 700 children in grades K-6 and expanding to serve 900 students in grades K-8 by 2015, CCSP is an independent public school governed by a board of trustees consisting of parents, community members, and NJCDC representatives. Through this unique partnership, the innovative school exposes students to a genuine connection with the community and ensures that everyone is an advocate for the children and families.
